vinyl tile over other parts of it, it is all by itself in som eplaces.
Where the ac flooded and we had to rip up the tile...but that was 3 years
ago...

They did until a couple of years ago and it is still available for some
uses. Two/three years ago, after it had been banned for use in houses, a
dealer for BK Cypress Log Homes quoted me a package that contained arsenic
treated lumber and, when I questioned him, sent me an awful email regarding
the safety of this wood and how no person would eat it. Tennessee Log Homes
had a dealer who was very unhappy when I rejected some of his arguments re
arsenic treated wood. (There is a lot more to that story.......if you ever
consider using them email me personally and you won't consider it for
long). Arsenic leaches into the soil and poisons the plants, water etc.
It is also used in some fencing and creosote is used in RR ties that are
used for landscape timbers. Power poles and telephone poles as well as
fence posts more than a couple of years old are probably treated. They
certainly weren't removed. There are questions about the current
"accepted" treated woods. Please remember how long the arsenic treated was
considered safe. Obviously I am a tree-hugger but please, with that many
illnesses, please have it checked.

To leave the world a better place - whether by a healthy child, a garden
patch, or an improved social condition - that is to have succeeded. That
only one life breathed easier because you lived - that is success.
